Description
For a burst of violet-blue in spring, try Lucerne Blue Eyed Grass, a graceful native-like perennial ideal for Massachusetts gardens. Although it resembles grass, it’s actually part of the iris family and produces lovely, star-shaped flowers on branched stems. It prefers full sun to part shade and consistently moist, well-drained soils, making it perfect for borders, meadows, or naturalized areas.
Lucerne Blue Eyed Grass is a great choice for gardeners looking to encourage natural reseeding and long-term beauty. It can be sheared back after flowering to tidy the garden and minimize self-seeding, and should be divided every few years to maintain vigor. Lucerne Blue Eyed Grass thrives in Massachusetts climates and brings soft texture and charm to any planting area.
